Time

Can we ever stop Father Time
From galloping away so fast
I can hardly catch my breath as I try to capture
Memories of a past we shared many moons ago,
Time, so recklessly squandered by youth
Is now so precious,
I would like to rein it, savor every second, every minute
And as it ticks away
Allow our senses to see, feel, smell, touch, and hear
The precious gifts of Time,
Can we, shall we, ensnare Time, until
Eternity?
